[1][2][3][4] It was proclaimed on June 15, 1994 and is managed by the National Parks and Conservation Service.

Facilities for visitors include two information centres, picnic areas and 60 kilometres of trails.

The park protects most of the island's remaining rainforest although much of this has been degraded by introduced plants such as Chinese guava and privet and animals such as rusa deer and wild pigs.

Several areas have been fenced off and invasive species have been eradicated from them to preserve native wildlife.

The park has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International.
